Chairman of the Commission, Yahuza Abubakar, reaffirmed the Commission’s commitment to upholding what he described as the moral and religious standards of the state.
The Hisbah Commission in Yobe State has destroyed 51 cartons of alcoholic beverages and 18 jerrycans of methylene chloride, popularly referred to as Madarar Sukurdai, in a statewide crackdown on intoxicating substances.
The commission said that the operation, carried out in various parts of the state, was sequel to Yobe’s legal and religious framework, which prohibits the sale and consumption of alcohol and other intoxicants in accordance with Islamic principles.
Confirming the operation in a statement, Chairman of the Commission, Yahuza Abubakar, reaffirmed the Commission’s commitment to upholding what he described as the moral and religious standards of the state.
Abubakar also disclosed that in addition to its enforcement efforts, the Hisbah Commission also mediated and resolved a total of 565 cases in the past year.
The cases, according to him, ranged from family and inheritance disputes to business disagreements, unpaid rents, community conflicts, and farmer-herder clashes.
“Most of these cases were resolved amicably through reconciliation and mutual understanding,” Abubakar noted.
The Commission emphasised that it would continue its efforts to maintain peace and promote social harmony in line with the state’s ethical and religious values.
